Adventures in Being Married to a Soldier and Policeman.
The husband is currently deployed so right now it's about being an army wife and managing life during deployment. I'm a singer, music teacher and administrative intern...life is busy!

Next stop...

We are now less than 2 weeks from life's next big adventure. In July I will be driving the hubby down to base for his deployment. I have known for a while that this is coming but I can't say that I am thrilled about it. I know that in the long run this deployment is going to be good for us and Hubby wants to go but I am NOT ready yet. I don't know that I would ever "be ready" to spend a year with minimal communication and knowing he is putting himself in a dangerous spot but I'm doing my best to close. I am focused on planning what to send him, when to do it and how to keep busy while he's gone so I don't get mopey.

We will be spending the next 2 weeks with as many friends and family as we can manage. We have a couple barbeques, a paintball day and who knows what else. Our goal is to have fun but make sure that we make some alone time for ourselves as well. We have been out with friends or had friends over the last 4 nights. Tonight is date night, yay!! Now it's just time to decide where/what we're going to do. Any suggestions?

Peep Toes Profile

I love my high heels, contrary to many teachers! There is almost always a pot of coffee on here and I love having people over to share. When at home I can be found reading, cooking, baking and watching too much TV. I try to get to the gym as a balance to the cooking and baking... Recently I became an Army and Police wife so life is never boring!

We've been married since April and there is plenty of life going on here! I am teaching, going to graduate school and learning about being married. My husband is currently deployed and so it's an odd mix of being single again and missing that person who's such an integral part of my life. I have a fantastic family and my friends are outstanding. I am lucky to have them and know they will be needed more than ever.
